Can Mayweather Versus Pacquiao Ever Take place?

Floyd Mayweather, Jr. would not become the highest compensated American athlete throughout 2013 if they isn't one terrible of a salesman. Maybe he is one of, if not, the very best in that regard.

Few that with a foolhardy, cocky persona together with exceptional boxing expertise and you have the ultimate villain. He is the man fans would love to hate. Mayweather plays the "heel" role to perfection and therein is situated the secret of his gain: the masses patronizes him, not because of his impregnable but otherwise not necessarily fan-friendly, defense-first design, but simply because they need him lose.

In order to Mayweather's credit, some of the best lower-weight fighters (Jose Luis Castillo, Diego Corrales, Zab Judah) in the era currently have tried to put a stench on his record but to no take advantage. It's far from a magic formula to the casual admirer that for the better section of two decades, no one ever did, and perhaps no person ever will.

The particular rise of Manny Pacquiao in the mid-2000s became a bright spot of hope for Mayweather bashers.

There's this nice guy from the Philippines with a exacto rags-to-riches-story, knocking individuals left and right on his approach to being considered the ideal pound for pound fighter in the world for over 300 weeks.

Eventually, there is now someone followers would view as being a hero, the anti-Mayweather if you will.

The many talk about mayweather vs pacquiao hd probably beating Mayweather is not only wishful thinking. Typically the Filipino machine possesses lightning quick hands and fingers with real electrical power behind them and most sticklers believe Pacman's all-pressure, fast-paced style could pose problems for the particular defensive-minded wizard. Even the great Sugar Ray Leonard called him a "tasmanian devil" the way he arrives forward and throws punches in many.

On the contrary, Money's online game is not so much concerning rapid-fire boxing like not getting hit simply by any of the projectiles they call punches. Yet that just made the particular possible encounter 100 times more thrilling. Styles make combats, they say.

It's a match-up many thought was performed in heaven. Or even not.

Years prior to, reports said that a minimum of twice, the battle almost pushed through only to fall in the very last minute. Drug testing to which Pacquiao will not want any portion of then, the $30 million guaranteed cash that he turned down, Frank Arum, and so forth.

Pacquiao, on the other hand, won convincingly against Brandon Rios but PPV TRAFFIC numbers could simply muster an frail 550, 000 will buy, tops.

Now, that could only mean Pacquiao has lost much, if not all, regarding his leverage throughout talks of a potential showdown and Mayweather, the master which he is, isn't likely to stop reminding Pacquiao of the latter's now-inferior status.

Recently, in a visit to Johannesburg, S. africa, Mayweather had many choice words for that fighting congressman and also pointed out Pacquiao's two previous losses and up to date tax issues.

"I offered Manny Pacquiao the fight just before, " Mayweather stated. "We didn't observe eye to vision on terms. Years later we revisit and I try and make fight happen again. I offer him $40 million. They said he required 50-50. So we failed to make the fight come about.

I'd do anything to help make the fight happen, ' when he's definitely saying: 'Floyd, can you help me solve the tax problems, obtain me out of debt? '"

Pacquiao fired again summoning his interior villain, appealing to Mayweather's manhood in a mobile phone interview in a Philippine daily.

"I'm not necessarily desperate to fight him just for the reason of money or product things. I'm not the one seeking this particular fight; rather it is the boxing fans worldwide. I am ready to send myself to any type of stringent drug testing. "

"Above almost all, I challenge him to include in our battle contract that both these styles us will not receive anything out of this struggle. We will donate all the proceeds from the fight-guaranteed prize, should at this time there be any, gate receipts, pay-per-view and even endorsements-to charities around the globe. "

Aside from suggesting a charity battle, Pacquiao added:

"Floyd, if you're a real man, fight me. Take a look at do it for the enjoy of boxing and then for the fans. Take a look at do it not for the sake of money. Let's make the boxing followers happy. "
